EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite craftsmanship of Veit or Wit Stoss's "San Rocco" sculpture, carved from limewood. Standing tall and bearded, this baroque masterpiece can be found in the Santissima Annunziata in Florence, Italy. San Rocco is depicted as the patron saint of plague victims and protector of the sick, a figure revered for his miraculous healing powers. The intricate carving captures every detail of his cloak draped over his shoulders and his sturdy wooden stick held firmly in hand. The richness of the wood grain adds depth to this full-length sculpture, emphasizing its lifelike quality. Placed within a niche, San Rocco stands as a testament to Italian artistry and devotion. As we admire this work of art, it is impossible not to appreciate the skill required to transform a simple piece of timber into such an extraordinary representation. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every aspect - from San Rocco's flowing beard to the folds in his mantle. This print invites us into a world where religious symbolism meets artistic mastery. It serves as a reminder that even amidst suffering and illness, there are figures like San Rocco who offer solace and hope through their divine intervention. Bridgeman Images has captured this remarkable sculpture with precision and clarity, allowing us to appreciate its beauty from afar. Through their lens, we are transported to Florence where history comes alive through woodcarving excellence.
